It's the day before the new counter tops arrive - and I've spent the day priming, painting and RE-painting the kitchen walls.

As much as I love color, after I had carefully selected a caramel color to contrast the counter tops, and painstakingly applied, when it dried - it just didn't work! Has anyone else done this? It just dried darker, much darker in fact, that the sample. And what I envisioned as being cozy warm turned out to be NOT SO COZY WARM!

So perhaps after the counter tops are installed, I'll give it another whirl. For now, it's just simple, clean and calm.

But the bright side is that a fresh coat of paint always makes things brighter.
